ONIONS and GARLIC add zest to dishes: Shanghai Daily,Feb.10, 2009 on page C6:
According to researchers at the University of Wisconsin: It does not matter if they are chopped or sliced or added as a spicy garnish,onions have a natural blood thinning effect that can play an important role in cardiovascular health.
Onions are also recommended for hypertension. Scientists gave two to three tablespoons of onion essential oil per day to folks with moderately high blood pressure. They found that about 70% of folks had lower blood pressure,systolic level dropped an averasge of 25 points and diastolic readings dropped 15 points after consuming the onion essential oil. Fresh onions and garlic would be as effective in my thought!
Onions also stimulate insulin production in the body,thus are effective in lowering blood sugar. The higher the onion intake,the lower the level of glucose found during clinical tests.
A large percent of the world's garlic is grown in China. No wonder it is such a common ingredient in Chinese cuisine. Just like the onion, it has medicinal benefits.
Disregard teary eyes and bad breath,add onions and garlic to your diet in USA and in China. That is the common ground to maintain health as human capital of economics.
